APPLY NOW TO STUDY ABROAD Studying abroad is an incredible opportunity! Make sure to take advantage of it before it is too late. There is something for everyone. Study abroad programs are available to all majors within the College of Agriculture. Programs are available for spring break, winter break, Maymester/short term, summer term, semester, and year-long. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors can study abroad. Seniors are able to study abroad the summer after May commencement. Applications are available online at www.studyabroad.purdue.edu. Visit, email, call the Agriculture Study Abroad office for more information. We’d love to help!

OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD In addition to programs and courses offered through the College of Agriculture, agriculture students are eligible to participate in campuswide programs offered through the Office of Programs for Study Abroad. You are not limited to those listed in this brochure. The campus-wide Office of Study Abroad (OSA) handles all the study abroad programs except those administered through International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA). OSA is in room 105 of Young Hall www.studyabroad.purdue.edu.

Programs administered through the: IPIA = International Programs in Agriculture OSA = campus-wide Office of Study Abroad While it is unlikely, information in this brochure, including published costs, is subject to revision.

PROGRAM/COURSE ELEMENTS SEMESTER:

Some of the semester exchanges/programs are coordinated through International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA) and some are through the campus-wide Office of Study Abroad (OSA). For most programs, students will select from courses available at the host institutions. Students will earn a minimum of 12 credits while abroad (most will earn between 15-18 credits). All credits earned overseas will transfer back to Purdue, in most cases for credits and grades. In this book, the majors within the course offerings are identified for each university. You will find the website for the university and course offerings. All of the programs in this publication have been academically approved by the College of Agriculture. Students who study at one of the approved universities will receive credit and grades for the agricultural courses taken. Students need to make sure the courses they take will fit into their plan of study.

SUMMER: Summer programs vary in length, credits earned, and activities. Programs may include classroom study, work/internship, or research experience.

MAYMESTER/SHORT TERM: Maymester courses are faculty-led and sponsored through individual departments within the College of Agriculture. They are designed so that students still have time to enroll in another summer session course, participate in an internship, or have a summer job upon returning home. Normally, students earn three credits for the 2-4 week course. Students pay a study abroad fee of $304.70 instead of Purdue summer tuition.

SPRING & WINTER BREAK: Courses are offered for one week to ten days during spring break and winter break. Students earn one or two credits.

ELIGIBILITY/REQUIREMENTS Programs are available to all agriculture students who are in good academic standing. Some semester programs have a GPA requirement, but most do not. Winter break, spring break, and Maymester courses are available to all Purdue students, but agriculture majors will receive priority consideration. For most agriculture study abroad programs, there is no foreign language requirement. Unless otherwise indicated, instruction is in English.

INT’L UNDERSTANDING CREDITS Agriculture students must earn nine credits of international understanding. All credit earned while studying abroad can be applied toward required international understanding credit.

FINANCIAL AID/SCHOLARSHIPS Most forms of Purdue University Financial Aid may be applied to fulltime study abroad program fees. Students must have the FAFSA completed by the appropriate deadline to be eligible. All agriculture students are eligible to apply for additional grants/scholarships. The amount for each of these awards will depend on the availability of funds. Applications are in AGAD 26. In addition, most agriculture departments offer grants to their students studying abroad.

OFFICE OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS FRESHMEN SCHOLARSHIP Thanks to funding received through the Agriculture Office of Academic Programs all freshmen are eligible for the “OAP Freshman Study Abroad Scholarship.” Up to 25 $200 travel grants will be awarded to eligible students who participate in a winter or spring break study abroad course during their freshman year, or students who participate in a Maymester or short-term study abroad course the summer following their freshman year. To be eligible: • Students must be freshman standing and full-time students enrolled in any agriculture major (must be in their first or second semester of college-level study). • Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher. • Students must participate in a College of Agriculture study abroad course or Ag Education Block I Jamaica summer course.

INDEPENDENT INT’L ACTIVITY Students doing an international activity independently might be able to gain credit and funding. The international activity can be a wide variety of opportunities. Please email [email protected] or visit AGAD 26 for more information.

PURDUE MOVES SCHOLARSHIP Purdue will offer the following scholarships to Purdue WL degree seeking undergraduate students applying for a credit bearing, Study Abroad approved program. • $3000 for a semester long experience • $2000 for programs that spend at least 6 weeks abroad and earn 6 or more credits during the summer term • $1000 for shorter term summer and spring/winter break programs Students are eligible to receive the $1000 or $2000 scholarship once. The “Study abroad allowed me to broaden my horizon $3000 scholarship can be used in addition to the short-term scholarship, of the incredible world that surrounds me.” but can be used only once. -Dylan Sinks-

"Live up to your potential and don't hold back.

“Studying abroad lets you experience a new adventure, learn about other cultures, and make lifelong memories, while making new friends.” -Jacquelyn Brown-

“Studying abroad allows you to take a step back on life and see the world from a new perspective. It gives you a rich and full understanding of other societies, cultures, and people.” -Emmalee Koester-

“Students should study abroad in order to gain an understanding of how the world works and to get a chance to explore this amazing planet.” -Jim Vinyard“I chose to study abroad because I have always wanted to travel and see the world at a young age. Living in another country for a semester allowed me to grow as an individual. I made friends with people from every part of the world and was able to experience and see things I never thought I would in my life.” -Whitney Blankenberger-

“I studied abroad because I wanted the opportunity to meet new people, explore the world, and learn about new cultures.” -Logan Endicott-

ISSUES TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM Answering the following questions can help you define what type of study abroad experience would be best for you.

OBJECTIVES:

STUDY ABROAD DEVELOPS JOB SKILLS “Study abroad is a great opportunity to explore new things about other countries and about yourself.” -Jonathan Wang-

What aspects of study abroad are most important to you – curriculum, locale, cultural experiences, language study, travel?

INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

"One of the best/most fun decisions I have made while attending Purdue was the decision to leave my comfort zone and travel the world.” -Emily Wyrick-

Assertiveness Perseverance Inquisitiveness Self-Knowledge Enthusiasm Time Management Cultural Awareness Adaptability Increased Initiative Open-Minded Appreciation of Diversity

Communication Leadership Responsibility Self-Reliance Flexibility Observing and Listening Independence Problem Solving Crisis Management Patience Self-Confidence

Where would you like to study? What is your foreign language ability? How long do you want to stay – a semester, year, spring break, winter break, or summer? “Going on a study How much does the program cost? abroad program Will you need financial assistance to carry out your plans?

ACADEMIC CONSIDERATIONS: What courses or subjects would you like to study? Do you want to take classes in English or the local language? Do you have specific degree requirements to fulfill?

PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

was one of the best decisions I've made while at Purdue. I learned so much about myself and the world in such a short time; it was incredible!” -Larissa Lee-

Would you prefer to study with other Americans, with students of the host country or with a combination of both? Would you prefer to live with a family, with students from the host country or with other Americans? "Studying abroad was an awesome opportunity that not only served as a great career builder to differentiate myself among my peers, but also provided me with the chance to broaden my worldview. Being able to experience different cultures first-hand around the world is something that you can't put a price on, and I would definitely encourage anyone who is considering studying abroad to do so!" -Gretchen Beyler-

Ecole d’Ingénieurs de PURPAN – Toulouse Ecole d’Ingénieurs de PURPAN is located in the southwestern part of France on the Garonne River in Toulouse. Students participating in this program will spend eight weeks in France, including one month at PURPAN and one month living/working on a farm involved in agriculture, natural resources, agribusiness, or food science.

Students will participate in language introduction courses as well as an overview of the Brazil education system and Brazilian agriculture upon arrival. The majority of each students’ studies will be an internship/ research lab experience based on the students’ major and area of interest. Students will earn 6 credits with this course. The internship research lab focus areas include agricultural engineering, agronomy, animal sciences, biosystems and food processing engineering, food science, and veterinary medicine. This program is conducted primarily in English but Portuguese is the language of Brazil and familiarity with it is beneficial. Portuguese is not required of this course. Brazil estimated expenses: Purdue Summer Tuition and Fees Medical Insurance $64 Airfare $1100-1500 Passport $135 Visa Fee $180 Miscellaneous $300-800

The first four weeks is spent on the campus of PURPAN. While on campus you will study intensive French in addition to completing course modules on plant and animal agriculture, agricultural economics, and food science. An optional tract in viticulture is available replacing the agricultural courses. You do not need any previous French language experience. Students will also participate in field trips and cultural excursions. The next four weeks students live with a host family while participating in a work experience. In the past, students have worked in wineries, vineyards, small cheese processing/ agribusinesses, farms, as well as participating in research programs on the campus of PURPAN. Students will earn six credits on this program; three general agriculture, and three humanities. Students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign, Kansas State University, Colorado State University, Washington State University, Michigan State University, ITESO, University of Missouri, Monterrey Tech, and University of Florida also participate. Homepage: www.purpan.fr/node/323

“Travel while you’re young and able. Make the money work. The experience is much more valuable than money will ever be.” -Sarah Poe-

SUMMER

"My time abroad was probably one of the best eight weeks of my life. I got to experience things that I never imagined myself getting the opportunity to experience and I made many friends along the way. The culture, the food, and the sights of France were absolutely beautiful. Purdue is one of the most helpful universities when it comes to helping students study abroad and I would definitely recommend studying abroad to any student who is interested in doing so. It is an experience unlike any other." -Evan T. Adams-

Below are four separate programs students can study for the summer.

Students begin the ‘National Expedition and Internship’ program with an introduction to New Zealand through a two week Massey staff-led expedition of the North and South Islands. Experience New Zealand’s dynamic geographic and cultural terrain, visit some of the country’s most popular destinations including glaciers, volcanoes, and geothermal zones, and get way off-the-beaten-track with our experienced local staff.

Research Internship Students will conduct research based on the students’ major and area of interest. This opportunity can be one to three months.

Bio-based Economy ‘Bio-based Economy” gives insight into the whole life cycle of bio-based materials: bioenergy, biomaterials, food technology, as well as socioeconomic and ethical aspects of a future bio-based economy. In a mix of lectures, laboratory experiments and excursions for 3 weeks, professors teach you in an interactive way and in an international surrounding. Homepage: https://becy.uni-hohenheim.de/110771?&L=1

Innovation, Finance, Entrepreneurship “Innovation, Finance, Entrepreneurship” is a 3 week course through the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Social Sciences. Economic growth crucially depends on innovations. However, innovations develop under a high degree of risk and uncertainty and rupture existing structural patterns. Thus the rise and management of innovations poses severe organizational problems, and it creates special informational problems that can obstruct financing. Successful innovations require not only financial resources, but also a true entrepreneurial spirit. The aim is to provide knowledge on the economics, management and financing of innovations and the link of the respective concepts to entrepreneurial behavior and the creation and financing of innovative new companies. Homepage: www.euroleague-study.org/109925

Pathogens, Parasites and their Hosts “Pathogens, Parasites, and their Hosts: Ecology, Molecular Interactions and Evolution” is a 3 week course. This course will introduce ecology, molecular interactions, and evolution of pathogen-host relationships with respect to animals, plants and microorganisms.

Choices – Past, Present & Future

Food Security & Sustainable Development

The Low Countries (in the coastal areas of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany) include land that is up to 20 feet below sea level (1/2 of the Netherlands) to land that is over 1,000 feet above sea level. Students will travel from Amsterdam to Ghent, to Maastricht (cities that are 700 – 2000 years old) and back to the North Sea coast in the north of Holland/Friesland, most of it with millennia old farming history. Students will learn about how changes in geography, politics and culture have influenced the people and agriculture of the region. Students will also see how, in turn, choices across the food chain have influenced the geography, politics and culture of these regions. These changes and choices are illustrated by visiting small organic farms to large intensive farms, conventional and new food distribution systems as well as universities, research systems and historic landmarks. Emphasis will be on students integrating geography, culture and agriculture with discussions on choices for the future.

This course provides an international and multidisciplinary perspective on food security and resources. Focus will be case studies that represent different regions of the world with special emphasis on the changing conditions for tropical agriculture. The case studies, discussed in the context of the Millennium Development Goals, will help students gain knowledge and understanding of regional variations of food security and resources, sustainable development and economic growth throughout the world. This is a four-week course, which offers units on social and demographic changes, on the physical environment, global climate change, economic systems, and global trade. Purdue will partner with the University of Caldas and the Technological University of Pereira.
